ABOUT
One of the most eclectic, versatile singers from Japan, Sizzle does not fit into a category; be it Traditional, New Age, World Music, or experimental music. She has an extraordinary voice which is dubbed as "Rainbow Voice" that attracts people across any boundaries.
In 1994, Sizzle performed the Japanese folk song "Komoro Magouta" at the closing ceremony of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer. Her latest major work includes participation in the 2006 Northern Lights Festival in Tromsø, the 2004 Kazakhstan Jazz Festival, and the 2004 Song Festival in Estonia as the first foreigner in the history of the festival. In 2003, Sizzle Ohtaka performed at ICA London as a leader of the Futon Logic project – a collaboration with a VJ featuring the legendary manga writer, Tetsuya Chiba. In 2004, Sizzle recorded the album "Furusato" with the Ellerhein Girls' Choir, who won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance.
In the field of performing arts, she performed with Station House Opera in 1990, and with Kazuo Ono, a noted Butoh dancer, in 1992, "Monkey Business Class" – a theatrical production with Dumb Type and Hotel Pro Forma in 1996. In January 2005, she collaborated with Yoshiko Chuma for "Game/Play" at the Asia Society, New York. She also enjoys her role as musical director of the award-winning, long-running TV program "Nihongo de Asobo," or "Let's Play in Japanese."
